TAKES SHOT AT GOVERNOR Cyclone Sm h Assails Chief Executive For Abusing Veto Power. Vol.1, No.24 In a burning speech in the house of Representative Just Saturday Rep. H. H Smith of SHawnee put a few hot coals under Gov. Crace in the following language characteristic of the gentlemen from potowatomic country. "Mr. Speaker I rise to frankly caress the situation to the House as it appears to me. The situation presents acutely the disaster that stands in front of the people. I have differed with many of you on this floor, but now I am ready to defend this House in its course as the body of the people. from the asult which comes from another department of the government. An assault, as I view it, not only upon your constitutional rights, not only upon you integrity, but an assault upon you for legislating in the interest of the people. This veto of milage is a mere excuse in itself and furnishes the Chief Executive the opportunity to defend his shortcomings and try to decredit you, by shifting the blame upon you. We are endowed with power to pay ourselves milage and expense money, under the constitution, and we are the judges of our moral responsibility to ourselves and to the people, under the dictates of of our conscience. Whether we accept the money, which in itself is a mere pittance, is entirely a matter of morals, and with the individual conscience of each member. And when the Governor attempts to set himself up as a moral judge for us, he usurps our individual as men, and attempting to dictate to, and run, the legislative departments of our government. I have arose in this house so often, and denounced the deception as well as the encroachment upon the rights of the people by him that this opportunity affords me a chance to unmask the Governor's pretensions. It is well that I do so for I was one of the six in the House who voted against mileage, and I did because I did not think that I was entitled to it, and I shall not accept it, because in my line of duty I do not see that I am entitled to it, but each man who is entitled to it by reason of the fact that he spent his own money in the travel, appeals to his own conscience in saking it or rejecting it. For many months the Governor has been posing as the defender of the people. He has been sending us messages in favor of abolishing offices, and we have abolished offices only to find him vetoing our work. His appointees have been refused conformation, and he continues them in office, in defiance of the established accusations against them. He prates and talks about the rights of the people, and conscience and refuse to remove from office accused men that he knows are corrupt. He talks about economy and supports extravagance. He argues for tax reduction and supports those who conspire in office against the people's treasury. As for me it is time to speak the truth, and make it soplain that he misunderstand, and the people may always know the truth. I have been working incessantly, and sad riflicing my health and my money that people might be well served and you have been working her night and day in the people's interest, while the Executive up yonds. THE TULSA STAR fidled away or the confidence of the honest, hard working folks of this state by sustaining a false position. And I am sick and tired of his hypocritical criticism of our actions in proposing honest legislation. When he is cruel fying, day by day that legislation, nullifying our entire work, and now attempt to criticize us in the interests of a cheap political clique that would not get enough votes in general election to follow pumper's grave. In my heart I have been fair to the Governor, and in my mind I have taintedly tried to excuse his wrongs in the interest of his highly claimed honesty, that I might never destroy my confidence in the Governor of my state, but in this message there is nothing but hypocrisy. Is anything but hypocrasy for a Governor to charge us with moral misconduct, that would justify impeachment, when that Governor will O.K. the expenses of one of the State's employees to a Democratic National Convention and then praach to us that we commit a crime in voting an appropriation that the constitution permits us to have I voted against accepting the mileage in the first place, but I will vote to pass this measure over the Governor's veto, if my vote is needed. I stand upon high ground the ground that here is a tyrannical invasion of our constitutional rights and to it added the egotistical censorship of our moral responsibility—Tulsa Daily World.

Would=Be Murderer Roy Benson one of the would be assassins of James Cherry several months ago accepted two years in the penitentiary Tuesday to explain for his crime. His accomplice, Henry Randolph who is now held in the county jail is fighting the case and will stand trial on the 16th of this month. The shooting of Mr. Cherry is considered a most cowardly attempt to murder a man for nothing more than envy or jealously. County Attorney Malone has expressed himself as desiring to convict Randolph and secure a maximum sentence for him. The recent filing of charges of improper conduct against Senator Gore by an Oklahoma City woman has caused talk of the resignation of the blind senator and incidentally aroused the senatorial bee which has been quietly snoozing in the bonnets of several leading politicians of Oklahoma. Whether or not the blind man who has recently loomed into national fame and power will step down and out is of course a question at this writing. But if such should happen there would be a great scramble for the juicy plum. Among those mentioned as his possible successors are Speaker J. H. Maxey of the Fourth Oklahoma legislature, Ex-Governor, C. N. Haskell and Representative H. H. Smith. All three are strong men but it is freely admitted by the wise heads that Maxey stands a better chance than either of the other two men. Mr. Maxey has made many friends since he became Speaker of the house and many of those who bitterly opposed him in the speakership fight are now lined up with the Maxey forces, and he is generally hailed as the fairest and ablest speaker of all his predecessors.

There is a great excitement now over the capital question and some talk of trying to locate the capital of Oklahoma at Tulsa. There is in question that Tulsa could get the prize if she gets the game for it—but there is a great question as to whether Tulsa would want it after gettiig it. The majority of the people at Oklahoma City would vote to locate the capital at Tulsa or anywhere else, because already they have their fill of it. There are very few capital towns in the United States that ever amounted to much after getting the capital and while Tulsa might prove he exception, yet it might be well to find out if we really want the capital. Tulsa has the largest bank clearance of any town in the state. That is to say there is more money in Tulsa than any town or city in Oklahoma. Tulsa is soon to commence work on a new convention hall, land has been purchased for a six million dollar packing house, which will employ four or fine thousand men, Tulsa has more fine hotels and office buildings than any town in the state; Tulsa has the finest county court house in the state; Tulsa is the only city in Oklahoma now employing regular uniform colored policeman. Please remember too that Tulsa is under a democratic administration; Tulsa has the finest looking, biggest hearted and most efficient of ficers, both county and city, than any other town or county in the state. Of course Tulsa is the liveliest and best town in the state. Who could doubt it? The Tulsa World has raised a big howl (and a righteous one) about a filthy cesspool at Second and Elgin where a dwelling house sets occupied by a family with children who are attending the public school and bringing the health officers to task for their inattention to duty. The house in question is occupied by white people. The World says the cesspool of stagnant water has been there three weeks. Such health condition is certainly very deplorable and should not obtain in Tulsa. Some body is responsible for it and the guilty party should bear the consequence. The cesspool mentioned by The World is not the only one in the city that needs the attention of the health department however. Just two or three blocks from the place mentioned by the World reporter, at 116 N. Elgin is another filthy cesspool of black and green stagnant water in which even frogs and tad polls could not subsist and yet there are two houses situated therein occupied by two families both having children of school age. At both of these houses it is necessary to use bridges to cross the water from the sidewalk to the house. There are no doubt enough deadly germs in this one pool to infect all of Tulsa and the time is near at hand when the city will regret it unless something is done to eliminate this public danger. The City Commissioners is said to be a fine set of officials bent on serving all the people of Tulsa and improving the city in every way possible. We therefore respectively invite their attention to the civic conditions existing in the east end. We note that Andrew Allen Veatch who by some peculiar chain of circumstances was elected representative from _____ County, editor, manager et al. of the Remonstrator, an anti-socialist, negohropist, sheet striving for public recognition, has gotten in bad in the courts of Oklahoma County. A warrant for his arrest has been sworn to by the brother of the late editor of the Appeal to Reason for a slanderous, libelous article which appeared in the Remonstrator a few weeks ago. Allen, however, will claim his constitutional exemptions as a representative and in this way stay the hand of justice along as possible. The article in question was a vicious attack on the character of the late Socialist leader and at the time of its publication Veatch claimed that he had spent time and money working up the evidence against the dead man, but now he is trying to shift the responsibility by claiming his rights as a representative while serving the people of his county. About everything Veatch has done since he came to the legislature aside from writing abusive editorials about negroes and socialists, is smoke cigarettes and take up the time of the house and the money of the taxpayers making useless and senseless speeches against colored people, who by the way, as taxpayers are helping to pay his salary. Now when he has fallen victim of his own narrowness and his lack of gray matter and finds himself in the clutche of the law he cries out for exemptions because he is "representing the people."

There is not a Tulsa to be found who is not heartily proud of the city in which he lives. There is not a Tulsa who is not a living, breathing, boosting advertisement of the best city in the state. The Tulsa cannot be found. Who has not placed every ounce of his faith and every dollar he can spare in Tulsa investments. But there is still room in Tulsa for boosters from wherever they may come. No one short of a booster is wished here, and while the hand of welcome is extended to everyone, it is done in the spirit and with the full understanding that however sleepy one may be when he first comes to Tulsa, he can't subsist in this invigorating atmosphere whose one essential is hustle and get-up and go and not become inoculated with the germ of boost and faith in the city's present and future. Not only Tulsa, but the Tulsa community bespeaks in all directions the progress being made here, and right at ths time there is room in Tulsa five hundred more dwellings. All of these could be rented at good prices as soon as built. The building of them would increase the population of the by several thousand persons, and the investment is one of the best.
